gray between walls

within these walls
lies a carpet of gray
slightly etched
inter-weaving patterns
mapping paths
like directions
past roads taken
following lines
though patterns etch
will not re-draw
from memories wrote
trying to create
new lines upon history
with each marking
the paths of present
unfolding life’s directions
decisions made forward
or should we back up
retrace lines again
after laying new carpet
different in color
between these walls
.
.

*pink* is good...
always a *tickled* colour!

and you know, ive many times followed the pattern on the carpet....sometimes its better than looking at the stains on the walls!

i enjoyed this

Someday I'll be So damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
Gives me credit for.

thank you for reading Terrina

thanks M, no everything is going just fine. just in the new place have a room without much in it and was laying on the floor last night, and a million thoughts went thru my mind.  and this is what i came up with. plus along time ago, couple of years, serenity helped me to do some different writing...it started with a wall, and i no longer do just pieces that ryhme.

muted thanks for reading, and ah yes stains upon the walls, guess i could write one about that. but then it would be so so long, opps telling my age.  but PINK....NOT!!!

thank you Gentle Spirit, i am trying to write better.
